There is confusion growing leaves and sprouting roots in fertile soil ;
Heartbreak lurking around the corner planning his next attack.
There are difficult decisions waiting patiently to be made real .
There are roads over grown with weeds of decay- eager to be tracked.

Sleeping sound within the soul is music
waiting to be awakened by the softest breath ,
a sigh of desire and the flutter of a kiss.

Watching is you is agony .
Tuching you is a painful reminder
of what can never be .

To be is to exist
within a world
not yours alone.
__________________________________________________
I am always Mine ,
unless you choose
to make me yours ,
and then I will "be".

The Forest of opportunites lost.
As I was walking through the forest ,
I glimpsed opportunities past.
I think I took a wrong turn someplace-
I think I moved too fast.
In my haste ,I believe
I was blind
To what I ought to have seen.
And in the course of my journey,
I think I ended up
Where I never wanted to be.
I try to retrace my footsteps.
They are difficult to spot now.
Eroded by eddies of faulty memories
It is difficult to see where exactly
I deviated from the path chosen by me.
Maybe the beginning is where I ought to start.
But going back home is no easy task .
Through the dark canopy of old mistakes
I must struggle to make my own way.
No one said it would be easy.
But they never warned me
It would be like this.
Or maybe I just never saw
What was staring me in the face.
Every step of the way
I must fight the mediocrity
That threatens to captivate
And I must learn to ignore
The temptations of security
That lead to complacency.
Every second I’m running faster,
For time is out to make me lose
This twisted race that I never chose.
Hurriedly my eyes strain against the hazy mists,
They search in earnest high and low ,
Seeking the sign that I shouldn’t have missed.
If only I knew where to go !?

Be - Cause
I have a grouse with the world .
I know someone who recently published a book of - to be honest- quite awful poetry - and when I mean awful I'm not even referring to content or poetic licence but simply sentence construction , grammar and style . This person is only 16 years old and his immaturity shines through his verse (or lack of .. verse that is) . And despite that , this "wonderful" collection opens with a preface by Pritish Nandy himself - oh the joys of being the grandson of a political giant (and don't get me started on my issues with said "giant" ... *growls in frustration*). So yes when undeserving people get their "poetry" published and political "giants" propagate half arsed theories and promote communal disharmony , I definitely have a grouse with the world - or two !
Ok ranting over !
Now its I'm -half -panicky -and -half -relieved- time ... what with only EVS and ECO papers left , and everything over and done with , im definitely in emotional turmoil . But on the plus side ... Its soon gunna be Kick-Ass time !!!
New Plan
If I ever own a hair salon , keeping with the current trend of Bizarre Trendy Salon names (read Mad-o-Wat , B:Blunt, Juice , Kromakay) , Im going to name it "Because" ... why ? well "Because ...!" ..lol
but I also did see the this salon that was named something like Curl up and Dye with the pun on the word "dye"... gosh they just get weirder and weirder .
Motto for life ... "Because people are weird !"
Tag line ... "Precisement"
Concept of Note - Universal Adult Franchise (lol Im 18 !)
And so with muddled thoughts and weird words...I leave to watch American Idol ...
Because !!!!
